The door-sized roller shutter raises double quick, as if impatient, and I step through. Snow crunches beneath my feet, the chill hits my face and I grin. I’m standing in a space about the size of a decent supermarket, its surface carpeted in snow.

The crazy thing is that just a few minutes earlier I was outside, gently baking in 20-degree June sunshine.
